"What the hell happened to JL, he was so cocky just now?" Matt leaned over whispering to ask Marcus. "It's because Louis is one of, if not THE fastest among all of us and... JL just doesn't like losing but he knows that he can't beat Louis easily like he did with the rest of us." Marcus answered back. Curious about the Mercedes, Matt decided to walk up to it. The first thing he saw was that the rear seats were removed and there were 2 bucket seats as opposed to the stock seats. "What do you think? I just did some basic mods like weight reduction, bucket seats and a new suspension system." Louis asked. 

"That's... decent. What engine you got?" Matt asked. "Oh Mercy has a 6.2L V8 that produces 560hp. Thought the engine is mostly stock and I have a drift tune which detuned the engine's output to about 500hp." Louis explained. "Ok enough talk, JL let's have a race. Up and downhill." Louis challenged. "*Sigh* Ok then, let's go!" JL accepted Louis' challenge enthusiastically. "Who do you think will win?" Akio asked the rest of the team. "I don't know, I barely even know the spec of their cars." Matt replied. However Airi interrupts them and said. "I actually have the basic specs of their cars." while scrolling through her Ipad and passes it to him.

"Huh... this is quite unpredictable, considering both of them have very different specs." Matt commented bluntly. "I think JL can win, his drifting skill are almost if not pro level." Akio predicted. "No way he will mate, Louis be faster." Marcus protested. "Well... what about you mate, who do you think will win." Airi asked but Matt just remained silent for a while. "...I think it all simply depends on who has more skill and more luck..." Matt simply concluded.

Soon both the R34 GTR and the Mercedes AMG line up at the top of the mountain. "Alrighty let's get started... Started your engines!" Marcus announced to which both drivers responded by revving up their monstrous engines and shifting into 1st gear. "OK... 3, 2, 1, GO!" Marcus brings down his hands as both cars lunged forward. The GTR took the lead with the Mercedes right on its tail. "And their off, this is gonna be fun to watch." Marcus said enthusiastically.
